Hey all - I messed up the themes. You may have to reselect your theme in the lower left hand corner of the main page.

Needs to not rain at all anymore so it can dry out.. and I've heard more rain at sometime this weekend.

I am close enough that I can vouch for the "more rain in the forecast". I am referencing the fact that we usually have some players that come out of the gate fast. There are obviously more than usual but they could always let the rough grow a little more with the added rain. Even if they didn't want to, there are ways that they can toughen up the golf course.

Forgot your up there, so there is rain in the forecast?

The course is going to get tougher regardless, pressure mounts and it instantly is harder. I do agree with you about the rough and all though.

Its a good leaderboard at this point though, I just don't like the scoring.

Looks like rain tomorrow and then decent on Sunday before another possible rainfall. I don't mind red numbers.......for now. Let me see Weir or someone else be 10-12 under after 2 rounds. Then, I'll worry. I guess that they could also get creative with some pin positions. What really troubles me is watching guys stop their balls on the green like any other tour stop.

They'll take care of the greens tomorrow I'm sure and double cut and roll em. It'll be fine. You can't deny Weir had a great round of golf.

He played awesome on the course as it is right now. He was smacking the rescue club all day long, but then again it was slapping on the green and not moving a lick.. something that shouldn't happen on these greens.

Weir has a legit shot though here as long as he keeps his head together. I think he will hang around.

Not tough to pick 10, honestly. Knowing golf or not. McIlory is a solid little kid, but that translates bad to a US Open, honestly. Good solid picks though.

No I know aha, but some strategy/knowledge comes into picking for the US Open. I mean, you want guys that are long but accurate off the tee, and guys that have good recovery games.

Looks like they're expecting darkness to settle around 8:30, meaning there's going to be a long day for a lot of guys tomorrow. Hopefully the rain holds off, although its looking like it won't, and they can get everything finished and save Sunday for the final round.

This is a HUGE pet peeve I have in this country. Not to bring up school again because apparantly every time I do nowadays I get shit on, but it's been drilled into us at school that any golf update needs to have Mike Weir in it because he's such a big deal up here. News editors want him in there because so many Canadians care so much about what he's doing.

He won the Masters. In 2003. He's won ONE tournament in 6 years now. He is nothing in the PGA tour.

Can we please give it a rest? Never before has an athlete been so over-rated.

Personally I think he's a pretty damn good golfer and a good representative on tour for Canada. Seems pretty logical to me to include the top Canadian on tour in any Canadian golf reports or the like.

IT won't happen until another Canadian golfer reaches his success. No, Stephen Ames doesn't count. WHy the beef with him anyway? It's not like he's going out there and missing the cut each week. He's going out there and putting in solid results.

Who knows, maybe your wish will come true sooner than later. Prior to turning pro, Matt Hill was the number one ranked collegiate player in the US.
